GHSA-fpw6-hrg5-q5x5 - ech0's acess tokens with expiry=never cannot be revoked: logout panics, delete d

CVE:

Summary

Access tokens created with the "never expire" option have no exp JWT claim. Three independent revocation mechanisms fail for this token type. Logout at internal/handler/auth/auth.go:154 and :163 dereferences claims.ExpiresAt.Time, panicking on the nil field so the token never hits the blacklist. RevokeToken at internal/repository/auth/auth.go:45-50 skips when remainTTL <= 0. The admin's "Delete token" panel action at internal/service/setting/access_token_service.go:183-185 removes the database record but does not call RevokeToken to blacklist the JTI. Once a never-expire token leaks, the JWT stays cryptographically valid until the admin rotates the signing key across the entire instance.

Details

Creation path at internal/util/jwt/jwt.go:103-105:

// expiry = 0 表示永不过期
if expiry > 0 {
    claims.ExpiresAt = jwt.NewNumericDate(time.Now().UTC().Add(time.Duration(expiry) * time.Second))
}

For NEVER_EXPIRY, expiry = 0 and the conditional skips. The resulting JWT has no exp claim. The middleware at internal/middleware/auth.go accepts it; the jwt/v5 parser does not require exp by default.

Failure mode 1, logout panic at internal/handler/auth/auth.go:163:

// Refresh-token revocation at line 154 (safe in practice: refresh tokens always have exp).
// Access-token revocation, same pattern, at line 163 (the bug):
if claims, err := jwtUtil.ParseToken(authHeader[7:]); err == nil && claims.ID != "" {
    remaining := time.Until(claims.ExpiresAt.Time)  // nil deref when ExpiresAt is nil
    h.authService.RevokeToken(claims.ID, remaining)
}

For a never-expire access token, claims.ExpiresAt is nil. claims.ExpiresAt.Time panics. Gin's Recovery middleware catches it and returns HTTP 500; the JTI never reaches RevokeToken. Line 154 shares the same pattern against refresh tokens, but refresh tokens are always issued with an expiry so the nil dereference does not fire there in practice.

Failure mode 2, `Revok
